7 In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. 8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. (Hebrews 5)
As the writer here elaborates on the priestly work of Christ, he brings out a fact that we see revealed over and over again in the Gospels: Jesus spent a lot of time in prayer to the Father. If this was true of Him, how much more so it needs to be of us. The Son knew what the game plan was when He came. He and the Father are of one heart and mind. He by character says no to sin. Despite all this, He kept coming to the Father to talk about the plan for the day, for the strength needed to carry it out, and for all those with whom He would have contact during that day. He was light years ahead of us in wisdom, yet He kept coming back. Any questions? Don't ask me. Ask Him.
